I like to get there early. I believe we were at the Cincy show by 11am last year (we had to drive from Indy) and we were at the Indy show when the gates opened. By the time the concert is over, I typically just want to go home to bed, with any luck, it was a great long day, additionally, the lovely ...

I agree. I used to go watch Phish and could go to four or five shows a summer and hear completely different setlists. Part of the fun was seeing if they would play any of my top five picks for the shows. The cool thing about Phish, they never even played the same songs the same way. They can twist ...

This is my opinion, and its more than likely wrong due to me being young and dumb. But its just money, as long as i can afford to go to the show and not screw up any other part of my life, ill prolly pay it. My theory is, if I dont die broke, I did something wrong. No point in having money when i'm...

Not sure I follow you. It doesn't take satellite feed at all? Unless you are "docked", you do not get a live satellite feed. Think of it as an ipod/podcast for Sirius. You pre-record the feed, then when you take it with you, you can listen to the pre-recorded material. The S50 is an expen...

there are s50 receivers on eBay for about $150, and those let you put mp3s into the mix too for the times when you are wanting something different in the form of ear-worms. :D As far as the S50, it won't let you listen to "Live" Sirius. If you are looking at portable Sirius, wait until th...

Ouch, sorry to hear about that. That's actually a pretty known scam, and unfortunatly, you have no recourse that I know of... There's actually a discussion thread that talks about the scam in quite detail, as apparently several have bumped into it this year.... http://www.buffettnews.com/forum/viewt...

I've had Sirius for a month now, and I love it. I haven't heard a FM station in quite a while. My lovely wife's car came with 3 months of XM, and I never listenend to it once, didn't like the programming. 99% of the time, it's tuned to RM, but there are some other good stations on Sirius.

Kinda an odd place, but since I've not met most of them, I may try to stop on by for an AM beer before I head on to the local Irish pub I used to frequent.

Cincy is in the same boat. It's not listed on their website either. I was told today by a Customer Service Manager that that happens when there are absolutely NO tickets for sale, or the other time, they pull the show manually for a ticket screw up (ie the Cincy Null Ticket Issue).
